Today’s episode is with Cavina. Cavina is a sustainable fashion content creator who is half Thai and half English. She grew up in the suburbs of Oklahoma City where she found her true obsession of thrifting and treasure hunting

 After years of self-taught experience in the secondhand reselling, styling, and thrift world, she decided to display her love publicly by starting a YouTube channel.

In 2021, she and her husband moved to Bangkok, Thailand, and while living there she created content about Bangkok Street Fashion, secondhand shopping in Thailand, and all the great markets she visited!
